Early in 2008 Ryan's eldest brother Aaron travelled back to India, primarily to meet some friends returning from Kashmir but also to catch up with Indian friends in Rishikesh. Aaron wanted to make sure that the search is still uppermost in people's minds in that area.

Aaron was more confident on this 2nd trip, having experienced the Indian culture previously. His travel mode this time though was different- long train and bus trips.

He and his mates had a great time and Aaron was able to relax more on this second trip, whereas the first was spent searching for his younger brother.
